ABOUT THE ARTIST

Maria Sabala recently took on the role of full-time mother this January. She is currently focusing on being a mom and learning everything she can about photography. She hopes her passion for photography will one day lead to a career in the field. One of her favorite things to do is to photograph people, especially
babies, children and pregnant moms. She also loves
wildlife photography.
